NO POTENTIAL VOTER TOO YOUNG FOR GARY HART

Davie Town Administrator Irv Rosenbaum never met a presidential candidate when he was 2 years old.

Allison, daughter of Davie's witty and sometimes zany town administrator, was sleepy when she walked into Rolling Hills Hotel and Golf Resort on Thursday.

But she woke up instantly when presidential candidate Gary Hart shook her hand, posed for a picture with the father and daughter and told her she was cute.

Hart was in town to make an early pitch in South Florida for the 1988 presidential nomination during a breakfast with Broward County Democrats.

Like her father, Allison seemed at ease with the extra attention, cameras and reporters. When asked if she enjoyed meeting the former United States senator from Colorado, Allison smiled and said, "Yes."

MEMORIAL STAFFERS...WATCH OUT FOR WARRANTS

If you are going to Memorial Hospital's annual company picnic today at Topeekeegee-Yugnee Park in Hollywood, you might consider keeping a low profile.

Deputies, actually members of the hospital's activities committee, have been selling warrants for $1 to have staffers arrested and jailed during the hospital's annual picnic.

To get out, jailbirds must pay $1. Proceeds will pay for prizes given out during the picnic, which will be from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine.

Any one of the hospital's 2,500 employees could be arrested. On Thursday, about 40 warrants had been issued for the country/western style picnic.

PINES' FLANAGAN CONFUSES MIRAMAR

Pembroke Pines Mayor Charles Flanagan made Miramar commissioners look somewhat confused last Monday when he showed up at their meeting.

"No, we don't want to be annexed," Commissioner Vicki Coceano quipped to the neighboring Pembroke Pines mayor. "We're not coming to your city."

Flanagan quickly pointed out he was attending the Miramar meeting at a city official's invitation.

Miramar Commissioner Bill Cresswell had invited Flanagan to talk to the City Commission about his crusade to save full-service gasoline stations.

Flanagan was persuasive.

Miramar commissioners later that night asked their city attorney to draft a proposal similar to Pembroke Pines' ordinance requiring city approval to convert full-service gasoline stations to self-serve.

YES, DAVIE DOES HAVE A HISTORY

Broward County Commissioner Scott Cowan gave a history lesson of sorts to the other commissioners last week about the roots of Davie.

As Broward County commissioners were approving funds for projects that would include a comprehensive history of the Town of Davie, Commissioner Ed Kennedy turned to Cowan and asked, "Davie does have a history, I presume."

Cowan, who served two terms as mayor, from 1979 to 1980 and from 1981 to 1982, said the town probably has more of a history than most other Broward cities.

"Yes, Davie has a history beyond their mayor in 1979," Cowan said.

Commissioners agreed to give $10,000 toward a comprehensive study of the town, to be done by the Historic Broward County Preservation Board.
